Luke and Sarah Wedding Invitation
2010

This is the wedding invitation and program set I designed for my wedding. I used my wedding colors, pink and green, and my flowers, roses. I wanted the set to have a whimsical and girly feel, so I added the pink scalloped box around our names and a pink ribbon to the top. I added a vellum overlay on the front of the invitation to correspond to the organza overlay on my dress. I also added the vellum to give it a 3-dimensional feel and make it look like a whole field of pink flowers.

Strengthening Our Faith flyer
2009

This is a flyer I created for a ladies' bible study day at Lakeview Church of Christ in Columbus, Indiana. The theme was "Strengthening Our Faith in Difficult Times", so I used a photograph I took of a young woman standing on top of a cliff, overlooking the ocean. The waves crashing on the shore below represent trials, however she stands victorious on the rock, which represents Christ. The sun in the background represents hope, which further emphasizes the idea of overcoming in hard times.

Jason and Kristal Wedding Invitation
2008

This is a wedding invitation set I designed for Jason and Kristal. Their primary colors were black and hot pink, and they used some other bright colors as accents. Her dress was unique in the fact that the train was primarily black with white detail. I replicated the curvy, flowery design from the dress and used it as a decorative element throughout the set. I used bold chunks of color to match the bold style of the wedding colors and dress.

Prospect Church of Christ Gospel Meeting Flyers
2012

This is a set of flyers I designed for the Prospect Church of Christ in southern Indiana. The theme for their 2012 spring meeting was "Transformed", so I illustrated that idea with a beautiful, vibrant butterfly. The theme for their 2012 fall meeting was centered around the cross, so I created a silhouette of the scene at Golgotha to emphasize the cross.

DOV Camp T-Shirts
2009-2010

This is a set of t-shirts that I designed for a girls' bible camp called DOV (Daughters of Virtue). In 2010, the theme was "Guard Your Heart", taken from Proverbs 4:23, which talks about our heart as a "wellspring of life". I created vines and leaves coming from the heart to illustrate that growth starts in the heart. In 2011, the theme was "Words Fitly Spoken" taken from Proverbs 25:11. I shaped the theme words and verse into an "apple of gold" to illustrate the idea behind the verse.

Stuart and Meg Wedding Invitation
2011

This is a wedding invitation I designed for Stuart and Meg. Their wedding takes place this spring in a friend's backyard. There is a beautiful dogwood tree in their backyard, so I used this as inspiration for the invitation. Their colors are purple and pink, so I used the photograph of the pink dogwoods on the front and used purple for the background and some of the text.

Project Synopsis

Hallmarks Dust-jacket
2006

This is a dust-jacket I designed for a book called "Hallmarks" that was published in 2006. The name "Hallmarks" was a play off his last name "Hall", so I made "marks" look as if the ink had left many impressions on the page to illustrate the idea of marks or impressions left by Mr. Hall from his book. The candles at the bottom correspond to the subtitle, "lights in the world".

Project Synopsis

Mary's Quinceanera
2009

This is an invitation I created for Mary's Quinceanera party. The idea behind the Spanish tradition of a quinceanera is that the child becomes a young woman when she turns 15. It is customary to trade in your flat shoes for high-heels at this party, and then the young woman dances with her father. The high-heels on this invitation illustrate that tradition. Mary's favorite color is bright green, so I used this color for the background.

Project Synopsis

Elliott and Joy Wedding Invitation
2009

This is a wedding invitation I designed for Elliott and Joy's wedding. Their wedding was outside in a garden, and their flowers were pink calla lilies. I emphasized the beautiful and organic shape of the calla lily by cutting the edge of the invitation with the shape of the flower. Their colors were pool blue and mocha, so I used these colors throughout the invitation.
